Hi All I've been suffering from random BSOD's for a good while now (before I OC'd it, before you say anything :P) but they've recently gotten more and more common (1-3 in an evening), and it's getting a teensy bit annoying :P It started getting worse after I went from Vista to 7/XP in August...

I'm sorry, I don't know whether this is a software problem, hardware problem, or a combination of problems. At least once every couple hours my computer will freeze for 60 seconds. The program I am using will be frozen, and I can switch to something else I'm running and it will work for a short...
